Cinema/ Pronta la riedizione di "Gola profonda"
Martedà 08.02.2005 13:54
Uscirà presto nelle sale americane la riedizione della celebre pellicola hard "Gola Profonda" di Jerry Damiano. Lo annuncia il Daily Variety.
La Arrow Prods di Las Vegas, che detiene i diritti del fim, ha iniziato a stamparne 10 copie. Cinque usciranno in versione "R", una caratteristica che consente la visione a ragazzi sotto i 17 anni se accompagnati da un adulto. L'originale, datato 1972, all'epoca fece scandalo, tanto che fu bandito da 23 stati americani. L'uscita del film è preceduta dal documentario "Inside Deep Throat", nelle sale di New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco e Boston da venerdì scorso. Il documentario, vietato agli under 17, mostra come "Gola profonda" abbia reso popolare una forma di piacere sessuale prima considerato tabù.
La pellicola originale, interpretato da Linda Lovelace, fu realizzata in sei giorni con un budget di 25mila dollari, ma ne incassó ben 600 milioni. L'amministrazione Nixon mandó l'Fbi a bloccare le proiezioni, intraprendendo azioni legali contro il regista e gli attori. La nuova versione, secondo il Daily Variety, non sarà pronta prima del prossimo 18 febbraio.
Come allora anche oggi il Governo è pronto a un nuovo giro di vite del governo contro la pornografia. Il Congresso, infatti, sta esaminando una legge che alzerebbe da 32.500 a 500mila dollari le multe per spettacoli osceni, col sostegno di entrambi i partiti, provvedimento in parte ispirato dall'incidente in diretta tv dello scorso anno, quando la cantante Janet Jackson suscitó scandalo mostrando un capezzolo nel corso di un'esibizione durante il Super Bowl, finale del football americano e uno degli eventi televisivi più seguiti dal pubblico.

Credo che stai parlando di spettacoli/esibizioni pubbliche (TV) e non di film che sono destinati per sale di cinema o per "home use" (uso privato in casa). La CBS e' stata gia' multata per l'affare di Janet Jackson.Come allora anche oggi il Governo è pronto a un nuovo giro di vite del governo contro la pornografia.

Deep Throat Faces New Challenges
By: Mark Kernes
Posted: 3:27 pm PST 2-18-2005
CHATSWORTH, Calif. - Paul Interlandi has encountered some adversity as he works to get the original Deep Throat ready for theatrical release.
Arrow Productions owner Raymond Pistol, who owns the rights, hired Interlandi to upgrade the video masters of the 1972 release and then turn them into film prints for distribution to theaters that want to include it on a double-bill with the new NC-17 documentary, Inside Deep Throat.
"We're having the master transferred to HD," Interlandi explained. "We're then going to use a special motion picture camera that shoots a very high resolution monitor, and converts the video, then, to film. They use that a lot to convert entries in the Sundance Film Festival for screening at the festival. It's a very expensive process."
But some unforeseen obstacles have hampered the process.
"I just got thrown out of another lab," Interlandi said Friday. "Somebody, a vice-president, found out that they were working on the show, pulled the film, had it on his desk, and told me to come get it; said that they have an agreement with Disney, and that Disney prohibits anybody from working on anything NC-17 or above [i.e., XXX]. Just to verify that they had the right to throw us out, they actually called the MPAA to check our rating, and I guess it was rated X by them way back when. So The Mouse fucked me. And, you know, that's funny, coming from a company that's mostly staffed by gay people."
It wasn't Interlandi's first disappointment. Those started about two weeks ago, when theater owners from around the country started calling Arrow to see if prints of Deep Throat were available for theatrical showing along with the new documentary. They weren't, so Pistol put Interlandi on the job.
"I called probably 20 facilities in Los Angeles before I got somebody to do it, and now they've crapped out on me too," Interlandi told AVN.com a week ago. "This one place [which Interlandi asked not to be named] asked for volunteers to work on it, so nobody who was working on it cared, but somebody just walked by the production area and happened to see it, and they went all the way to the top, created a huge drama down there. They scrapped all the work they had already done, and told me to pick up my stuff and get out. I've been totally up-front with everybody, and there's a whole list of other companies I contacted that wouldn't touch our product."
"Now I know what a black person in the South in the '50s felt like, wanting to go and eat at a restaurant that says 'Whites Only,'" he added ruefully.
So even though Arrow had plans to re-open Deep Throat in theaters to coincide with the Feb. 11 release of Inside Deep Throat, that schedule could not be kept.
"So now I've got to start all over again," Interlandi said. "I'm not even going to mention where I'm at right now, but they're charging me double – 100 percent more than the place I got thrown out of – just to shoot five prints of the film, so porn gets a penalty of 100 percent."
But with 15 orders from theaters already, five prints won't make the cut, so Interlandi has been forced to go outside of California to find a company that will dupe enough prints.
"I'm moving the whole thing to another state – I can't even say which state; I'm afraid to. I have to leave this state to even work on this film."
But at least, now, he's satisfied that he'll be able to have enough prints to supply any theater that wants it – and plenty do.
"We'll be opening Deep Throat in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago and Philadelphia," announced Mark Borde of Innovation Film Group, which is the exclusive U.S. theatrical distributor for the film. "We're one of the largest independent film distributors in the country, and we normally wouldn't carry a product like this, but Deep Throat is just such an icon. We consider it to be very different from the type of porn produced today; it's a piece of history, and we're proud to be able to help a new generation of adults see what all the furor was about 30 years ago.
In Los Angeles, Deep Throat will have its new premiere at 10 p.m., Thursday night, Feb. 24, at the Laemmle Sunset 5 Theaters on Sunset Boulevard. Attendees will be able to see the original, uncut version of the film, along with a mini-documentary created by Interlandi, Days of Deep Throat, which is also available on the Special Edition DVD of the film.
"I did this little documentary with Eric Edwards," Interlandi said. "He's one of the few people around who did a sex scene with Linda Lovelace, and he was around during the era when Deep Throat was made, and I have parts of that sex scene in the documentary. I also found some stills from the first scene that he ever did, and one of Linda's early scenes – it was within a few days of the scene with the dog [in a now-banned hardcore loop], and Eric says he was there when she had sex with the dog, and I have his story on tape, but I didn't put it in the documentary because, frankly, I didn't want to go down that path."
Inside Deep Throat will also be playing at the Laemmle Sunset 5, but not on a double-bill with Deep Throat, so those wanting to see both should arrive earlier and expect to pay a second admission price. Check local listings for show times.
Although for the past two weeks Interlandi has been totally immersed in getting the films produced, let him talk and he begins to wax philosophical about the significance of the movie.
"If you're an archeologist," he analogizes, "and you find a plate from Greek times or from ancient Rome, with Spartans and everybody, all these guys sucking each other's dicks and butt-fucking 'em, you preserve it; you photograph it, put it in a museum, whatever. We shine a light on it; we say, 'Look at this art that these people did 2000 years ago,' right? How is Deep Throat different? It's more important than a fuckin' plate with guys butt-fuckin' each other. It's the film that opened up the adult industry to the world. It's as important as any of that stuff, and the fact that nobody wants to work on it, to help me preserve it, it's a fuckin' crime against humanity."
"I think that Deep Throat, as crude as it is, is art," he continues. "The first person that drew something on the wall of a cave did a crappy job, but it was an attempt at art. Has porn gotten better since Deep Throat? Sure. But there wasn't anything then. Deep Throat is a goofy movie, but it was done in 1972. Things were pretty crude back then."
And Interlandi is a dreamer as well.
"This is my fantasy, but seeing Gerry Damiano in [Inside Deep Throat], he's obviously coherent and still sharp – I dream that we could get him to direct a brand-new Deep Throat with the exact original script; to have him re-do it and have him do a good job."
Interlandi won't say whether he's been in contact with Damiano, but he hopes one day to interview both him and star Harry Reems for a possible Deep Throat DVD box set.
Theater owners – and only theater owners – who wish to arrange to show Deep Throat in their theaters can contact Mark Borde at Innovation Film Group in Santa Monica, Calif., at 310-656-6333. Cable, satellite and foreign theatrical rights to the film are being arranged through Cable Entertainment Distributors (C.E.D.) at 310-829-0033.

raga,
io ho la versione originale e integrale che ho rivesato in DVD direttamente dalla pellicola, ho ripulito l'audio dai disturbi di proiezione e ogni tanto lo guardo, mi spiace non poterlo commercializzare ma è una vera figata.
Una domanda: è vero che la Linda Lovelace è morta di aids? è ancora viva? Tempo fa un programma su rai tre la dava in fase terminale, qualcuno conosce la verità ?

Cosa curiosa che nel documentario INSIDE DEEP THROAT, il regista Gerard Damiano e' intervistato e non parla tanto bene dei produttori del film. Non e' stato possibile a Damiano di partecipare negli incassi del film, quando divento' un successo strepitoso. Ora la Arrow vorrebbe fare un'edizione speciale di DEEP THROAT in DVD intervistando Gerard Damiano.eddywolf ha scritto:raga,

Per la questione di Linda Lovelace, della sua morte se ne e' parlato in questo forum, basta fare delle ricerche. Ma mori nel mese di aprile 2002 in un incidente automobilistico nel Colorado. Il suo ex, Chuck Taynor che la fece una star (e che Linda affirmvavva che la minacciava e maltrattava) mori 3 mesi dopo nel luglio 2002.

Deep Throat to Premiere Again in Hollywood
By: Mark Kernes
Posted: 6:21 pm PST 2-23-2005
HOLLYWOOD - The Laemmle Sunset 5 Theaters, at the corner of Sunset Boulevard and Crescent Heights, will be the party place at 9 p.m. Thursday.
That's when limousines carrying porn stars like Jesse Jane and Teagan Presley will be arriving for the 2005 premiere, one hour later, of the re-mastered XXX original Deep Throat, the movie that, some say, started the adult industry as we know it today.
Also on hand for the event will be former Arrow Productions contract player Joelean, as well as new talent Brandi May and Leanne Young, as well as several other ladies not yet confirmed.
Attendees will be able to see the original, uncut version of the film, along with a mini-documentary created by industry super-tech Paul Interlandi, Days of Deep Throat, which is also available on Arrow's Special Edition DVD of the film. They can also check out the excellent new documentary about the film, the NC-17-rated Inside Deep Throat, which will be playing several times during the day and evening – most notably at 7:15 p.m. – on another screen at the same complex. That showing would let viewers out just in time to meet the stars before catching Deep Throat at 10.
Interlandi has chronicled his troubles of getting prints made of the XXX classic (see previous AVN.com stories), but both he and Arrow owner Raymond Pistol are hoping that this theatrical showing of the 33-year-old film will spark other theater owners to follow suit.
"This is a breakthrough for the industry," Pistol assessed. "My feeling is that if we can get Deep Throat in there and it's a success, then it could theoretically open the doors for a Debbie Does Dallas, a Devil In Miss Jones, a Candy Stripers, and then new versions of Candy Stripers and Debbie Does Dallas – and all of a sudden, we've opened up theatrical outlets to the industry, which would give us a bigger presence, more credibility... and, quite frankly, more dollars and higher production values, both of which I'd dearly like to see."
It's an event worthy of applause, both for the Arrow crew – Pistol and Interlandi – and for the Laemmle for braving mainstream criticism and presenting a classic movie in a classic format.

Nel newsgroup RAME (sorellastra del Database IAFD.com) Paul Interlandi della Arrow ha inscritto dei messagi il 7 marzo 2005 sulla reidizione di DEEP THROSAT che vale la pena ripeterli:
(1) Deep Throat, in it's original, uncut
form, is now playing in West Hollywood at the Sunset 5, in San Franisco
at the Roxy and in Chicago at the Music Box. To find out about
screening times call those theaters.
Recently the film has undergone digital restoration and looks, in
someways, better than it did in 1972 when it first came out. Most of us
were too young to have gone to a theater to watch porn. Deep Throat
ended it's first theatical run over 20 years ago after grossing over
600 million dollars.
If anyone has any questions about Deep Throat feel free to ask? I'm the
person responsible for the restoration.

Arrow Productions
(2) The camera negative are gone. We believe the Feds got them in the 70's.
I believe it was shot on 16mm and blown up to 35 mm. But it's hard to
know for sure without having the camera negatives to look at.
Arrow has a number of 35 mm prints however most of them were shown in theater for 10 + years and are in poor condition. Also most of them are
suffering from shifting of colors (a problem with early color film
stocks) However, I found on print that had only been shown a few times
and worked from that. We used a number of digital and mechanical
devices to restablich color balance, remove dust, scratches and defects
in the print. Is it perfect no, but it is very watchable.
We current have a lead on IP in France and working on getting it
returned to Arrow.
(NOTA: Paul indica che la pellicola originale (negativa) e' introvabile, e che la Arrow e' in possesso delle copie che erano usate per proiezione nelle sale di cinema, ma che sono in povere condizioni. Lui pensa che il film era stato girato in pellicola 16m (che secondo me, sembra corretto, da quello che ho potuto capire facendo delle ricerche su questo film))
(3) NY Times, came up with the $600
million in sales. You might want to read the Los Angeles Sunday Times
Business section C-6. The directors of Inside Deep Throat have done
lots of reseach on this amount and if anything it's short of the actual
sales figure.
Deep Throat is the most sucessful independant feature of all time.
Figure that it's only 61 minutes long an it was playing 24 hours a day.
It was being shown 18-20 time a day for over 10 years. The theater that
had Deep Throat were charge double the standard rate for the time. The
FBI, in a report from the 70s, claimed that the two theaters they were
investigating were bringing in $100,000 per week. What about foreign
sales? Deep Throat sold over 3 million VHS by 1995, most of which were
sold for over $100 each.
Also, understand that since there weren't a lot of porn choices in the
70's many people went more than once.
I hope that clears it up.
(NOTA: Paul commenta su gli incassi del film che secondo gli esperti e verso i $600,000,000. Questa cifra include tutti gli incassi mondiali sia nella sale di cinema e vendite delle versione video fino ad ora)
(4) The NY Times is the source of the $600 million box office, I believe
that number reflects all world wide box office sales.
The video numbers were thrown in to show how a domestic sales figure of
$600 million could be acheived.

returned to Arrow.
(NOTA: Paul indica che la pellicola originale (negativa) e' introvabile, e che la Arrow e' in possesso delle copie che erano usate per proiezione nelle sale di cinema, ma che sono in povere condizioni. Lui pensa che il film era stato girato in pellicola 16m (che secondo me, sembra corretto, da quello che ho potuto capire facendo delle ricerche su questo film))
(3) NY Times, came up with the $600
million in sales. You might want to read the Los Angeles Sunday Times
Business section C-6. The directors of Inside Deep Throat have done
lots of reseach on this amount and if anything it's short of the actual
sales figure.
Deep Throat is the most sucessful independant feature of all time.
Figure that it's only 61 minutes long an it was playing 24 hours a day.
It was being shown 18-20 time a day for over 10 years. The theater that
had Deep Throat were charge double the standard rate for the time. The
FBI, in a report from the 70s, claimed that the two theaters they were
investigating were bringing in $100,000 per week. What about foreign
sales? Deep Throat sold over 3 million VHS by 1995, most of which were
sold for over $100 each.
Also, understand that since there weren't a lot of porn choices in the
70's many people went more than once.
I hope that clears it up.
(NOTA: Paul commenta su gli incassi del film che secondo gli esperti e verso i $600,000,000. Questa cifra include tutti gli incassi mondiali sia nella sale di cinema e vendite delle versione video fino ad ora)
(4) The NY Times is the source of the $600 million box office, I believe
that number reflects all world wide box office sales.
The video numbers were thrown in to show how a domestic sales figure of
$600 million could be acheived.
